Mobility in the Face of Extreme Hydrometeorological Events 1

Abstract:
 

As indicated in the Preface, the question of scales is essential to the articulation between water mobility and the mobility of individuals. The hypothesis of this book is that this notion contributes to understanding the emergence of critical situations with a hydrometeorological origin. Thus, we have explored several bibliographical references, which have furnished our reflection on the role of scales in the development process of the hydrometeorological event. First, we worked with articles from Holling and Cash et al., resolutely oriented toward the interactions between environment and society. Then, we sought to deepen the way in which this notion is involved in the analysis of purely social phenomena, more specifically in sociology, by focusing on Grossetti’s article.
